I'm very impressed by his knowledge and enthusiam. His lecture is not only interesting but also very helpful. I'm very lucky to be his student.
I'm happy with your new vocabulary book, but I like also the other one with the pictures. I think you could alternate them. To do both is surely too much vocabulary for me!
About TEOFL and regular English class: Extremely interested person, has great knowledge about world, language, American way of living, awesome teacher who can provide information, news and like no one raise interest level prior to attending to his English class!!
Exceptionally committed to the class, you can tell he absolutely loves his class. Highly recommended for anyone who has the option to attend, an entirely worthwhile and enlightening experience!
I love his class. The grammar and vocabulary are very helpful. I would prefer if the reading could be commented in class instead of only read. The bloopers are great!!
Eventhough today was my first class I can say he is a great teacher. One of the best english class I´ve ever attended. He really cares about the material and you can tell he really enjoys what he does. So good to have found his class!
I love this class. With only 4 classes I feel comfortable enough to read in English. A couple times speaks fast and I can't follow, but it's already amazing.
Even though this was my first class, I learnt a lot and I love the way the class goes. But i would also prefer more individual reading and conversation so that i have enough practice to speak english which is where I have most of the problem.
Excellent teacher. Very, very helpful lessons for non native speakers. I feel lucky having had the opportunity to attend his lessons. The handout is well done. No one yawn during the two-and-half-hours lesson.
Excellent teacher! Always on time, with good material, understanding and examples. He is a wisdom of the origin of the words! I'm proud of being his student.
Although Brian's class is not a mandatory class, I attend his class every week on time. Honest speaking, attending his class is the most exciting thing during my entire week! He is very patient and nice in class, not only teach us the authentic English but also a lot of culture things. Yes, his class is wonderful and interesting!
Brian is a wonderful teacher! He is always open to any questions and answer them with great patience. The most important thing is that he really liked English at convey his passion to the students.
I always enjoy his class! His class is well-balanced to study English because his handout consists of word, grammar, reading, comics and so on.
Excellent teacher.
We feel free to ask questions. I benefit from this point a lot.
Initially am not interested in attending the class but once after attending the first class, I started to wait for the next class.. :-) Thanks Brian
Brian's class is amazing. Brian is a very smart person and he is a very good speaker. I enjoy how he divides the contents of the classes but in my opinion at the end of the class the text is so big that we don't have enough time to discuss it appropriately. Anyway, I'm pretty happy to attend his classes.
Grammars, idioms and vocabulary are very useful!
Brian is an excellent teacher! He teaches us 3 hours - all the time with the same enthusiasm. He explains everything clearly and patiently (and humorously). And the best is that he shows us how words are built, how they are related to each other and where are they from. Thank you Brian for your great classes!
Brian, Thank you! I like your class!
It is fun to take the class. A useful textbook.
Classes very Cool. He is a Great proefssor. I Think that he can hang on there slowly, but he is very helpful.
I like this linguistic approach,because I understand much.
your class is useful for me,it's better if class has more American culture.
In my opinion, this English class is really useful, so it contains the most difficult items in English language, spelling and pronunciation. Although, sometimes it is a little boring, but at the same time I know it is the only way to teach to so many people. Really good job!!!!!
He is a great teacher, I enjoy his class
I really like this class. Professor is very helpful, explains everything really clear. Also, he come to lesson with made textbooks, it really helps to understand everything.
Brian is a great, patient and attentive teacher! He prepares copies of a good material used in class for everyone. The textbook is very good, however it too much content for a class of 3 hours class. I think a lower content could be better explored and deepened.
I like this English class!
helpful?good
Brian Zack is one of my best English tutors. It's impressive his knowledge about the etymology of the words. In my opinion, it makes his classes so much fun. Overall, I really enjoy his lecture. However, the reading part is boring.
I like professor Brian Zack very much. Thank you for opening this class. I was obsessed by this class. According to this class,I grasp many words,idioms and lean more about the American culture.
I like professor Brian Zack very much. According to this class,I learn many useful words, idioms and grammars. What is more, I can know about the American culture with the reading. It is very helpful for me to understand the American's behavior better. Thank you for opening this class.
I like Brian's class and the material is great!!! Thank you, Brian.
Professor Zack is so enthusiastic and friendly. And the class is really helpful, especially in pronunciation and idioms.Hope there will be more opportunity for the students to communicate with each other and with the professor. Anyway, I love the class.It is great!
The class is really helpful! I have learnt a lot from it, and I really enjoy it. Thanks, Brian!
He is the best teacher for my life
Great class and helpful, really! I like it very much. Thanks Brian!
He is such an amazing teacher. He explains every necessary detail. He is very passionate about learning and teaching. He is one of the best teachers I have ever had. Since he loves what he is doing I feel lucky to be one of his students.
Classes are so perfect for non-native students that want to improve their level in English. Nothing to improve for the moment.
This class is the class what I want. I love his teaching style, because he try to explain where a word is derived from. And materials given us each day are very helpful as well.
The class is very helpful for me!
He is a very good teacher ever. I respect his responsibility and sincerity.
The explanations are excelents and speak with clarity and with deep knowledge
explanations for the origins of words are interesting colored handout are awesome! good that reading part gets adapted to the current holidays (e.g. christams in December etc) I love your class :)
good professor
I simply admire this professor. I'm delighted by his ability to keep class attention during three hours. I appreciate a lot his constant words' etymology explanations. I really like how the studying material is organized. I enjoy a lot the way he is talking and reading. His pronounciation is clear for foreigners' understanding.
explains clearly and easily understand.
So far, best English teachers I've ever met. I will try to keep on learning.
I appreciated how lessons covered a variety of subjects: up to date ,only apparently easy and never boring. Maybe exercises could be a little more challenging if answers were not already filled in, but given only at the end of the paper or upside down as in crosswords, so as .to be checked only when necessary and to give a chance to repeat .
I like Brian's lectures Good materials interesting articles Brian answers all questions His explanations about idioms are very interesting
Selflessly helpful
In his class I think there is a good balance with grammar, vocabulary, idioms and american culture..
He's a good professor
He's a good professor!
He's a good professor!!
He's a good professor!!!
He's a good professo :)
His class is very clear
- Flexible time - not too fast/slow
He is funny and so smart! He respect every culture and tradition, he avoid political discuss, but always explain a lot of things about american culture. He is an Awesome Teacher!!!!
Brian Zack is excelent teacher and it is not just one side listener. He is asking us during class if we understood curriculum and if we didnt he tries to explain to us the different way. I am looking for his class every week.
Brian is really good at and love language I like his English class
very interesting
The class is very useful.
I think it is an excellent class, although I think it extends a lot in the province of words and is a bit confusing,should have two classes a week and give information to visitors by The library or municipality, since I went to ask the university and they did not give me any information until a study partnertold me about the course, I attended.
Excellent Professor, vocational and very clear english pronunciation.
Enjoying the mix of grammar, reading and pronunciation! I'm impressed by your knowledge about expression and their history, that's interesting! I think it is a good choice to run the class this way because a lot of people, even with babies, get to attend the class without feeling bad for leaving early or coming late. It is really cold in the room!
Interestinng lectures for English learners - full of practical expressions.
I'm grateful for the attitude of Professor Brian in providing quality materials in his English classes and for sharing his knowledge.
I love these classes. Everything is clear, the atmosphere is qreat, I don't have to be stressed out. I can learn a lot about grammar, volcabulary and many other stuff. Moreover, we're encouraged to ask questions and there is many helpful handouts. I recommend to everyone!
This is very good English class for Non-Native Speakers. I like this class very much, I can learn a lot from each lesson, especially for vocabulary with the color picture and Idioms.
We are very grateful to Brian for his excellent English teaching!
Very good professor teaching us as much about USA as possible, verz helpful course to get into life in Princeton. Appreciate a lot.
the lecture gives you the impression you are clever, and it's the first time for me to have a teacher who explain the history of language and it's nice ans very usefull. Thank's a lot for that.
He is very good, I would prefer he is not too fast
Maybe encourage the students to be more involve and do a little more speaking practice will be great
Amazing English Class
I like Basic Vocabulary most and dislike Reading. The teacher Mr. Brian is fantastic and great about the vocabulary.I love it. About reading, I suggest to give us some intensive reading materials in class and some extensive reading materials after class. Thank you so much for your free class!
He is so nice. He does not matter when you come to class.. just listen. Useful classes. Thank you
I recommend
Awesome professor, always willing to help and knows a lot about English
Professor Zack is generous to offer this course to non-native speakers. I especially enjoy the reading part, which introduces American culture and history. Great professor! Highly recommended!
One of the best ESL teachers I have ever experienced in my life!
He is awesome!
He is an excellent teacher and his classes are fun
Well organized. Makes the class informative and engaging.
His English class is well organized, from vocabulary, grammar to some formal text and cartoon language. Informative for non-native people. Materials are provided as color-printed handouts. I like this class.
Thank you for your time! Is very help full.
3.5hours is a little bit long for me . Is it possible for taking a break in the middle of class?
I like the class. It is very much helpful for me
The informality of Brian's lessons makes the participants feel comfortable. He loves teaching, is attentive, answers all your questions as best he can. He is a teacher you will be glad to have.
The informal nature of Brian's class makes participants feel at ease. He is a dedicated tutor who is attentive and does his best to answer all questions thoroughly.
Amazing professor
This class is designed for non-native English speakers. It's free, doesn't require registration, has no homework, and doesn't involve any paperwork. It's open to everyone, and all are welcome. The professor is an excellent instructor with extensive experience, he'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. This class is helpful for everyone.
He is very enthusiastic!
The class is very informative for non-native speakers. It covers basic/advanced vocabularies, grammar, idioms, reading and humor. I cannot believe this class is free with its context and quality and am truly grateful that I get to know this class!!! Thank you Brian.
Thank you Brian for this class. I like the structure and handouts. Usually the lectures are more then 2 hours and they contain a lot of different topics, new words + Iinks to the root of words and their origin (which I find especially enriching lectures). I wish we have 5-minute brake after approximately 1 hour (before advanced vocabulary).
I've had the pleasure of taking classes with Brian, and it's been an amazing experience. He is professional, patient, and passionate about teaching. Each lesson is clear, engaging, and tailored to my needs. Highly recommend classes!
The teacher is concerned about the welfare of his students, always willing to improve. His class has a great impact on the community. Congratulations, an honor to be part of his students.
The professor has an incredible calming presence with which makes learning much more enjoyable and easier. The one thing is that the difficulty of the class is sometimes very low and sometimes more advanced but I understand that it can be because of the various levels of English language skills of all students.
This is not difficult, funny, easy to participant class.
A great class and teacher ,I love it .
He is a good teacher.
I really enjoy Professor Brian's class. The course structure is reasonable and the difficulty level is moderate. I like the comic strip section at the end very much, but it takes a long time to digest. Besides, I find it hard to remember and pronounce the names of people and places. I wonder if there is any way to improve this?
It is a great class !!!
He's a very good and smart professor, always open to help you with anything that needs attention. I highly recommend him.
Brian is great professor, he explains how English word to connect to each other and works on pronunciation , always gives a lot of examples of using word in regular conversation. Would be great to able to talk at the class for students
Brian Zack is an excellent teacher who uses practical materials and good examples during classes to ensure people understand.
Highly Recommended!! Best English teacher in Princeton! Ability to teach students inspire and motivate! In touch even after school and via FB informal group.
Brian is so professional and kind to everyone.
He's impressively patient and knowledgeable. One of the best professors I've ever had. I also love his American culture classes.
A wonderful professor!
